Talib Kweli - Butterfly lyrics

[Intro - Talib Kweli] Yeah. You know. Make it work Summer rain is like my ad-lips??? ??? Right Chris? (sound like) Extra precautions when they not needed We do it like this like... I'm still awake... in the middle of the night Try to lay it down, try to close my eyes [Verse 1: Talib Kweli] At night I can't sleep Cause my heart skip a beat I can see it cause my heart on my sleeve I can see the deceased Tear into the flesh of the weak Currency bear the mark of the beast Never stand for the bull Even when the market asleep Anything I want is in arms reach And the score is so sweet But the consequence is that I got to wear the mark of the thief I am the man with one hand Stranger in a foreign land New identity cost a grand It's the miracle worker Serving up the offering So make the disabled walk again Got the melatonin, pouring in from the pineal gland Like the blind man that saw again Like el-Hajj Malik Street cats fought for him And they never ate pork again Bear witness to the [Hook] Power of transformation That's the power of transformation That's the power of transformation That's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation Make it clap like they're giving you a standing ovation The adulation is such a powerful high And as sour as my transportation When I am heading for the clouds in the sky Stay clean as the department of sanitation Even though we from the gutter right That's the power of transformation Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn (x3) At night I can't sleep [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] At night I can't sleep Cause my heart skip a beat I can see it cause my heart on my sleeve I can see the deceased Tear into the flesh of the weak Currency bear the mark of the beast Never stand for the bull Even when the market asleep Anything I want is in arms reach And the score is so sweet But the consequence is that I got to wear the mark of the thief I am the man with one hand Stranger in a foreign land New identity cost a grand It's the miracle worker Serving up the offering So make the disabled walk again Got the melatonin, pouring in from the pineal gland Like the blind man that saw again Like el-Hajj Malik Street cats fought for him And they never ate pork again Bear witness to the [Hook] Power of transformation That's the power of transformation That's the power of transformation That's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation It's the power of transformation Make it clap like they're giving you a standing ovation The adulation is such a powerful high And as sour as my transportation When I am heading for the clouds in the sky Stay clean as the department of sanitation Even though we from the gutter right That's the power of transformation Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly Caterpillar to the bu*terfly At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn (x3) At night I can't sleep [Outro: Talib Kweli and Steffanie Christian] Change is God Survival requires transformation No one said it would be easy But ain't nothing worth having, easy to get So run towards the challenge I love the challenge Every challenge is a new opportunity Of self-transformation So run towards the challenge I run towards the challenge I run towards the challenge I run towards the challenge (fade)
